If You Bite and Devour One Another by Alexander Strauch (Si os mordéis y os coméis unos a otros)

The conflict between human beings is one of the major consequences of sin entering the world. Because of sin all human relationships are difficult and conflictive. Then how will Christians be able to work in unity until Jesus comes back again? The answer to this question is fundamental to understanding how to deal with conflicts according to Bible principles.

The intention of author Alexander Strauch in this book is to explore the way that God desires for conflict to be handled, so that our congregations can experience peace and unity. This study will take from the Scriptures the key principles to deal with conflicts with a special emphasis on the Biblical behavior and attitudes. Some of these principles are direct statements in relation to the conflict (Matthew 18:15-17). Other principles are derived from general instructions concerning appropriate Christian behavior, especially when there is conflict between bretheren.

The book, If You Bite and Devour One Another (Si os mordéis y os coméis unos a otros), provides a better understanding of what the Bible teaches about conflict and to help believers to learn how to respond to conflict according to Bible principles. To avoid an overwhelming presentation of information, this book focuses strictly on the explanation and presentation of the Bible passages related to conflicts in the churches of the New Testament.

The need for the control of the Holy Spirit in our attitude and behavior is shown in the book. Illustrations from real life show solutions from a variety of conflicts that have ended honoring Jesus Christ.
